QuickLook

Post by iaseac »

Has anybody tried QuickLook with XY?
I was thinking perhaps they could handle previews of PDF files better than other software including Windows Explorer.

There are many PDF previewers for Windows
and all are better than QuickLook.
The only formats which are of use in XY is the preview of Office documents.

PDF is essential because I create 10-15 new files daily.
Can you please name some of the best that hopefully can create previews as reliably as JPG previews are created in just about any software?

I have PDF-XChange Editor Plus (paid version) on my main PC and PDF-XChange Editor (free version) on my other seven PCs at home.
Works like a charm with XYplorer floating preview of PDF files.
